SpartanNash operates as a food distributor and retailer providing integrated supply chain solutions to grocery stores, the U.S. military and related entities. Through a network of distribution centers, the company delivers fresh, frozen and shelf-stable products, as well as health and beauty items, to independent and chain supermarkets across the United States. SpartanNash also owns and operates grocery retail banners—such as Family Fare and Dan’s Supermarkets—offering pharmacy, fuel and in-store services to local communities.
The company was formed in 2013 by the merger of Spartan Stores, founded in 1917, and Nash Finch Company, which traced its origins to the late 19th century. This combination united two legacy businesses with complementary strengths in wholesale distribution and retail management, enabling SpartanNash to enhance procurement scale, logistics capabilities and merchandising expertise.
SpartanNash’s distribution footprint spans numerous states throughout the Midwest and beyond, supported by strategically located warehouses and transportation assets. In addition to servicing conventional grocery customers, the company maintains a longstanding partnership with the Defense Commissary Agency, supplying commissaries and exchanges on U.S. military installations worldwide and supporting specialty and seasonal programs for its retail clients.
Headquartered in Byron Center, Michigan, SpartanNash is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Tony Sarsam, who has focused on driving digital initiatives, expanding private-label offerings and strengthening retailer partnerships. Under his leadership, the company continues to invest in technology and supply chain innovation to support long-term growth.
